In this study, we developed a novel optical microscope, namely "optical frequency comb microscope", which utilizes the optical frequency comb. The optical frequency comb is an extreme light source and involves simultaneous measurement capability of the light intensity and phase because of its ultra-long coherence. We have realized three-dimensional optical constant distribution imaging with submicrometer resolution, which was challenging to achieve so far. We also applied the optical frequency comb microscope to biological imaging, clarifying the possibility of a novel non-invasive biological imaging method based on a three-dimensional optical constant distribution.
